The International Conference on Asian Digital Libraries (ICADL) is an annual international forum that provides opportunities for researchers and experts to meet and exchange research results, innovative ideas and state-of-the-art de- lopments in the digital libraries of their respective countries. Building on the success of the ?rst ?ve ICADL conferences, the 6th ICADL conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia aimed to further strengthen the collaboration and strategic alliance between the di?erent researchers and experts from the Asia-Paci?c - gion in the ?eld of digital libraries. Thethemeoftheconference,"DigitalLibraries:TechnologyandManagement of Indigenous Knowledge for Global Access," re?ects the shared belief of the - ganizers that success in the development and implementation of digital libraries in the k-economy is based on four key areas: the technologies that are employed to create a user-friendly environment, organization, interaction, navigation, and access to content; a knowledge management approach that ensures all types of knowledge (explicit, tacit and implicit) are included; indigenous content, which implies the creation of suitable and speci?c content to meet the needs of the indigenous community; and global access, which implies that content should be made available across time and space, and also implies that the content should be ?exible enough to meet global needs. The ICADL 2003 began with an opening ceremony and a keynote address.

Intelligence and security informatics (ISI) is concerned with the study of the devel- ment and use of advanced information technologies and systems for national, inter- tional, and societal security-related applications. The annual IEEE International Conference series on ISI (http://www. isiconference. org/) was started in 2003. In 2006, the Workshop on ISI (http://isi. se. cuhk. edu. hk/2006/) was held in Singapore in c- junction with the Pacific Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (PAKDD 2006), with over 100 contributors and participants from all over the world. This would become the start of a new series of ISI meetings in the Pacific Asia region. PAISI 2007 (http://isi. se. cuhk. edu. hk/2007/) was then held in Chengdu, China. PAISI 2008 (http://isi. se. cuhk. edu. hk/2008/) was held in Taipei, Taiwan, in conjunction with IEEE ISI 2008. PAISI 2009 (http://www. business. hku. hk/paisi/2009/) was held in Bangkok, Thailand, in conjunction with PAKDD 2009.These past ISI conferences and workshops brought together academic researchers, law enforcement and intel- gence experts, information technology consultants and practitioners to discuss their research and practice related to various ISI topics. These topics include ISI data m- agement, data and text mining for ISI applications, terrorism informatics, deception and intent detection, terrorist and criminal social network analysis, public health and bio-security, crime analysis, cyber-infrastructure protection, transportation infrastr- ture security, policy studies and evaluation, information assurance, enterprise risk management, information systems security, among others.
